Re: [AUCTeX] Local Variable ignored - almost got it

[NOGUET Dominique]

Hi,

I managed to get Local variables to work in non LaTeX file (e.g in a text file)!
Then I tried to make LaTeX mode to run 'lighter' by removing all the hooks. => 
managed to get Local variables to work in .tex files too :-)
Put the hooks back one by one to find the nasty one. And my conclusion is : 
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'visual-line-mode) was guilty.
Why did I have it there? Well, yet because it's recommended in the AucTex 
manual.

Any views on this ? I commented the line in my init file... hoping I'm not 
missing much.

In the meantime, I'll enjoy local variables again !
Cheers,

Dominique

Hello Ralf, Tassilo,

Many thanks for the fast responsiveness.

Indeed, I'm a disciplined user who reads and applies user manuals ;-)

FYI, I tried 'dwim', which created an init file error (Symbol's value as 
variable is void)

You're right, changing tab-width failed too... I have to look elsewhere.

Well, maybe I'm confusing things, but I wanted to check that I could change the 
TeX-master value attached to that buffer. (I did not expect it would solve the 
problem, but just wanted to check that TeX-master was not stuck to nil).

Thanks again. I'll check further...

Dominique

Oh, I see.  It's a bit strange that the first page of a manual tells users to 
change default values.  I don't see exactly how nil and dwim for TeX-master 
differ.  I have dwim, and when I create a new tex file I'm also queried for the 
master file.

BTW: the dwim value isn't documented in the manual.

Bye,
Tassilo
